13 posts | 8 read | 1 to read
The first in a six-book series, We the Children follows Ben, his tech-savvy friend, Jill, and the class know-it-all, Robert, as they uncover a remarkable history and use it to protect the school. Sixth grader Benjamin Pratt loves history, which makes going to the historic Duncan Oakes School a pretty cool thing. But a wave of commercialization is hitting the area and his beloved school is slated to be torn down to make room for an entertainment park. This would be most kids dreamexcept theres more to the developers than meets the eye and more to the school. Because weeks before the wrecking ball is due to strike, Ben finds an old leather pouch that contains a parchment scroll with a note three students wrote in 1791. The students call themselves the Keepers of the School, and it turns out theyre not the only secret group to have existed at Duncan Oakes.

This book is exciting for kids because it takes place in a school and includes a conflict against adults. The book is about Ben and Jill trying to keep their school from gettin torn down by a large real estate company.

This is a book about Ben and his friends discovering the history of a school that was planned to be turned into an amusement park. What they found could overthrow a thirty million dollar real estate deal.

I‘m out in Florence, Oregon today (3 hour drive) for an Oregon Library board meeting. Long drive, but it was a beautiful one and I listened to my entire audio book.

“We the Children” is a fun mystery for grade schoolers- entertaining and great action. The ending felt like the end of a chapter though, not the end of the book, which I do find annoying.
